Echo Movement joins Warped Tour

Surf ~ Reggae ~ Soca band ECHO MOVEMENT is set to begin the first of a string of performances as part of the 15th Anniversary lineup of acts on the 2009 Vans Warped Tour. The ECHO MOVEMENT Warped performances begin August 2nd in Minneapolis, MN and continue through August 19 in Fresno, CA. Other artists on the bill include Bad Religion, Less Than Jake and Senses Fail. In what has now become a regular summer event, the Warped Tour winds its way through the U.S. and Canada from June to August each year.

The band is proud to announce newly formed sponsorship alliances. The ECHO MOVEMENT TOUR Title Sponsor is Fukitt Clothing, a New Jersey-based clothing company with an emphasis on surf-culture designs. Clothing for both men and women, Fukitt and Risky.

The band’s Co-Sponsor is Belle by Ally Amblu, a custom apparel company.

Contributing Sponsors include Trilogy Arts Board Company, a Cali-based surfboard/skateboard/snowboard and apparel company. Hemp-Eaze known in surf circles for developing and producing hemp-based therapy cream for a variety of sports-related joint and muscle ailments and Jay Alders Studios, close friend to the band and well-known surf artist. Jay painted the front cover of Echo Movement's In The Ocean album.

Current CD In The Ocean offers an expanded menu of reggae influence. This is a vibe album, casually intense at points, created to comfort your soul. Fans agree ECHO MOVEMENT is a sprawling heat wave of original performance. The music is packed with energy, the lyrics are universal, and the hooks are infectious.

About Echo Movement:ECHO MOVEMENT is about love. It’s about a passion to learn, communicate and appreciate life’s opportunities. It’s recognition of the ability to choose your level of involvement in humanity. It’s respect for the earth and our global community and an honor to the pursuit of happiness. It’s a shrine to the human range of emotions. It’s an expression of music, culture and freedom. Echo Movement is about love, and that is all you need.

Brothers Steve and Dave grew Echo Movement from their Jersey Shore roots. They merged local beach culture with island and world music to create a unique blend they call “surf, reggae, soca.“ They set out to represent the rapidly–growing global mindset of the current “Echo Generation“ from which they took their name.

Echo Movement proves the new generation is built on independent accomplishments. Their songs are often about the integrity of the individual and their ability to take on any challenge while still remaining a part of the community. With fans across the world, Echo Movement stands as a living, breathing manifestation of its own honor.
